Set display date format

[Alan Pater]

I have a lot of images that where scanned from old pre-digital photos.
I have set the dates to when the photos where taken. for example, I
have a photo from 1905.

digikam is showing the date of this photo as 05/05/05. I would prefer
to see the long date: May 5, 1905. How can this be configured, both in
the album view and in the date editor.

By the way, I am using digikam 4.8.0 on Ubuntu 14.04 (native Unity UI).

Hi,

You cannot. it's hardcoded in source code (short ISO format).

- image properties right sidebar :

https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/graphics/digikam/repository/revisions/master/entry/libs/imageproperties/imagepropertiessidebardb.cpp#L596

https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/graphics/digikam/repository/revisions/master/entry/libs/imageproperties/cameraitempropertiestab.cpp#L539

- icon view tooltips :

https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/graphics/digikam/repository/revisions/master/entry/app/utils/tooltipfiller.cpp#L180

https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/graphics/digikam/repository/revisions/master/entry/showfoto/thumbbar/showfototooltipfiller.cpp#L153

Note : In KDE4 version of digiKam, KDE API was used. In Qt5 port, Qt
API is used instead.

Gilles, thanks to your message to Marie on setting the preferred web
browser in OS X, I was able to configure the short date format to
YYYY-MM-DD for digikam and other KDE apps running under Ubuntu Unity.

I ran the KDE Control from the command line:

~$ /usr/bin/kcmshell4 language

To see the list of available controls run:

~$ /usr/bin/kcmshell4 -list


Cheers!
